RE:Time
Hi,
If we wanted to use this in a robot you cant use calculate method...
Is this equivalent to
index = MarketSeries.OpenTime[MarketSeries.OpenTime.Count - 1];
Also what UTC timeframe does the code assume.. if I use UTC - 5 do I have to change it to Sunday?

Hello,
Try this code:
public override void Calculate(int index) { if (index == 0) return; DateTime currentTime = MarketSeries.OpenTime[index]; DateTime previousTime = MarketSeries.OpenTime[index-1]; if(currentTime.Month != previousTime.Month) { // first bar of the month } if(currentTime.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday && previousTime.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Monday) { // first bar of the week } if(currentTime.Date != previousTime.Date) { // first bar of the day } //...

yes and yes. you can use MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue for convenience. You can also set the robot timezone.

Any idea how to get the actual index of Day start, Week start and Month start?
I'm confused there should be a quick way to get them. help is highly appreciated.
thank you
